View source for MMT/ATL Transformation Language (ATL)

[[Image:AtlLogo.png|right]]

The [http://www.eclipse.org/atl/ ATL] component of the [[MMT]] project aims at providing a set of model-to-model transformation tools.
These include some sample ATL transformations, an ATL transformation engine, and an IDE for ATL (ADT: ATL Development Tools).
ATL is part of the [[AMMA]] platform.

==Questions and Discussions About ATL Usage==

Questions and discussions about the usage of ATL should take place on the [news://news.eclipse.org/eclipse.atl eclipse.atl] [http://www.eclipse.org/newsgroups/ Eclipse newsgroup] for the [[MMT|MMT project]] (more details about this newsgroup there), of which ATL is a component. Please, remember to prefix the subject of your ATL-related posts with <nowiki>[ATL]</nowiki>.

The [http://web.archive.org/web/20120208175753/http://atlanmod.emn.fr/www/atl_discussion_archive/ archives of the old atl_discussion mailing list] may also be helpful.

Before posting, you should check if your question is not already answered in the [[ATL FAQ]], the [[ATL Howtos]], or the [[ATL Language Troubleshooter]].

===Contributing to ATL===

There are several ways to contribute to ATL:

* [[ATL/How_to_Contribute_to_ATL_Transformations_Zoo | Contributing to the Zoo (or library) of ATL Transformations]].
* Contributing an [http://www.eclipse.org/atl/usecases/ ATL Use Case]: you should follow the instructions to [[ATL/How_to_Contribute_to_ATL_Transformations_Zoo|contribute to the ATL Transformations Zoo]], and additionally submit an  page that describes your use case (see {{ATLWebRepositoryLink|usecases/DSLsTelephony/index.php|DSLsTelephony/index.php}} for an example).
* Contributing code:
** The [[ATL Wish List | ATL Wish List]] contains a list of requested features. This is a place where you may: add your own requests, or find ideas of features to implement.
** The list of [https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/buglist.cgi?query_format=advanced&short_desc_type=allwordssubstr&short_desc=&product=M2M&component=ATL-Contribution&component=ATL-Doc&component=ATL-Engine&component=ATL-UI&component=ATL-Website&long_desc_type=allwordssubstr&long_desc=&bug_file_loc_type=allwordssubstr&bug_file_loc=&status_whiteboard_type=allwordssubstr&status_whiteboard=&keywords_type=allwords&keywords=&bug_status=NEW&bug_status=ASSIGNED&bug_status=REOPENED&emailtype1=substring&email1=&emailtype2=substring&email2=&bugidtype=include&bug_id=&votes=&chfieldfrom=&chfieldto=Now&chfieldvalue=&cmdtype=doit&order=Reuse+same+sort+as+last+time&field0-0-0=noop&type0-0-0=noop&value0-0-0= opened bugs] contains problems that need to be worked on.
** The [[ATL_Developer_Doc | ATL Developer Doc]] provides some information about the implementation of ATL.
** The [[ATL_Coding_Chart | ATL Coding Chart]] defines requirements about the ATL source code quality.
* Contributing a non regression test: the [[ATL_VM_Testing | ATL VM Testing]] page provides a way to improve developments around the {{ATLRepositoryLink|plugins/org.eclipse.m2m.atl.engine.emfvm/|emfvm}}.
